"Mass Effect Andromeda came out in March 2017, Mass Effect 3 came out in March 2012.) EA and BioWare will be hoping Anthem doesn't suffer the same fate as Andromeda, of course, which failed to set tills alight"

We didn't get much more new info about Anthem other than the above, though, EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen did mention that it is an “extremely unique” game.

Announced by BioWare and EA back at E3 in 2017,Anthemis the publisher's answer to Activision and Bungie's own Destiny series.

The game - a shared world shooter revolving around loot, mech suits and exploration - has been the subject of many gamer's attention since its light reveal in the summer.

We got a trailer at E3, but since then EA has been pretty quiet on the status of the game.

The game will see you take control of Javelins - mech suits that come in a variety of configurations that can be used to explore the world.

What we've seen of Anthem's world so far is a primeval, jungle-inspired landscape with dynamic weather effects, huge draw distances and vast areas open for you to explore.

The game's initial trailer (which can be seen below) shows off the world and the sort of gameplay we can expect - it's mostly in third-person, and there seems to be as much as an emphasis on combat as there is on exploration.

Though Bioware is keeping pretty tight-lipped about a lot of information regarding its upcoming shared-world shooter, the company is also communicating quite candidly with players about some smaller aspects of the game.

For example, in athreadon the Anthem subreddit, one user asked whether the Javelins (the player's mech suits) will be visibly damaged as the players sustain damage.

BioWare’s Brennon Holmes was quick to reply. “This is something we’ve been talking about,” Holmes explained. “It’s a little unclear on whether or not we can incorporate it into the final shader solution… but I think we’re definitely interested in something like this!”

It's nice to know that Bioware is keeping its finger on the community's pulse like this and responding where it feels it needs to. We're looking forward to hearing more about the game soon.

In fact, we may know when. EA have promised "an inside look at the stunning new action game, Anthem" at this year's 2018 EA Play event which takes place around E3 2018 in Los Angeles.
